Paul B Technic

Everything seems to have had a jump of around 20% of late. The price per part has gone way up, in a lot of cases.

That looks really cool :)

Those gears get me really excited :)

Very nicely done.

If the Technic features work well and are interesting, I might finally get in to these.

Great idea :) This is more "technic" than some Technic sets of late...

If I wanted to spend $600 on Technic, this is what I would get instead... SET PRICE 42167 59.99 42168 69.99 42203x2 159.98 42175 299.99 TOTAL 589.95

Australian Prices :( Volvo EC500 Hybrid Excavator = $599.99 Ford Bronco® SUV = $99.99 Lamborghini Revuelto Super Sports Car = $299.99 Ferrari FXX K = $99.99 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Car = $249.99

After reading a lot of comments and seeing some more photos, this will be a pass for me, mostly due to the price = $599.99AUD :(

Based on this, I will need to buy two, one to build and one for parts :) This and 42213 (42213 Ford Bronco SUV ) will be my must buys of this wave.

The backend looks sparse and too open.

I might get this for the gears and LA's.

I don't mind this one, not a "must buy" but might be interesting enough to get at some point.

I am not a fan of control+, so will skip this one.

I don't mind this, it might be an interesting build.

Interesting... I was hoping for a 8043 replacement, I guess this is a good start.

Yuck, the colour vomit is strong with this one :(

Interesting... Just Power Functions or full remote control?

LEGO Technic Off Road Utility Truck (ORUT) - Rubbish Bin Loader This is an updated version of my rubbish bin loader attachment for my LEGO Technic Off Road Utility Truck (ORUT). As part of this build, the original tilt tray has been removed and replaced with a fixed rear tray, creating a more stable and functional platform for future upgrades. The tray sides have also been completely redesigned to better accommodate the rubbish loader mechanism. This new mounting standard will be used across all future attachments for consistency and compatibility. Key Features: Bin Loader from LEGO 42167: Adapted from the mechanism in set 42167, the loader has been modified for smoother operation and better integration with the truck chassis. New PTO Drive System: Control is now mounted at the front of the tray and runs centrally down the body to provide a rear Power Take-Off (PTO). This powers the lifting mechanism for the rubbish bin, which is operated using the black gear at the front of the tray. Independent Crusher Control: A rear-mounted crusher is integrated into the rubbish bin lifting body and is controlled separately using the black gear located at the top. Secure Mounting System: The entire attachment slides onto the truck’s chassis and is locked in place at the front with a pair of pins. This ensures stability while still allowing for quick removal and swapping with other attachments. Video - https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2025/04/lego-technic-off-road-utility-truck_84.html

Wow, that is very cool. It has a great level of detail and the side by side photo with the real one, shows just how good this really is.

LEGO Technic Off Road Utility Truck (ORUT) - Road Grader This is a new attachment for my LEGO Technic Off Road Utility Truck (ORUT), this is a road grader attachment. This is mounted to my multi-function lift and carry attachment point, which is the standard mounting system I use for all my attachments. It also features a "quick mount" system, where the grey 3L with black 2L lift arm is used to easily lock this in to position.

That a very cool and well designed solution.

LEGO Technic Off Road Utility Truck (ORUT) - Reel Mower This is a new attachment for my LEGO Technic Off Road Utility Truck (ORUT), this is a reel mower attachment. As this is pulled along, the wheels make the blades turn. This is mounted to my multi-function lift and carry attachment point, which is the standard mounting system I use for all my attachments. It also features a "quick mount" system, where the grey 3L with black 2L lift arm is used to easily lock this in to position.

That is very cool, I really like it :)
